VR is GUESSING - Teardrop

Posted: May 02, 2012

It really grinds me that we're told repeatedly not to GUESS in order to make the sentences "make sense." Yet, that's exactly what VR on M*Modal does! Adds words that were never said, takes out important verbs and (God forbid! an article!). I spend more time taking out commas that are substituted for "and." This VR program not only edits, it MAKES WORDS UP! So now, we have to edit the lousy dictators and the In-*******-Credible VR too. Only 2 more years 'til Medicare - yeah!

Imagine what would happen to M*Modal if there was - no one to edit that junk for a week. Or ever.

I have 1 more year until Medicare. Only time wanted to be older since I was - 16.

All this talk about guessing is not to the point. Even if you do not guess, you are going to make mistakes - we all do. Some of the worst and fastest dictation I get is for the lab data and drugs and dosages which should be the most careful part of the dictation. The responsibility to see that these values are correct in the medical record belongs to the doctor, not to us. ...

Would rather not say which company, but I am in my initial training period and the lack of support is like nothing I have ever encountered before! I am not a new MT and I am not a job hopper. In fact, I've been called a suit on here because of my enthusiasm for this line of work. My edited reports look like somebody slashed their wrists and bled all over them. There is either no explanation for the error or cryptic comments that make no sense. Errors are inconsistently flagged. Em ...

when the doc says something like the: Skin is pink, warm and dry and intact. Is that how you would type it? Not sure about the proper comma usage. Nothing looks correct to me anymore!!! ...

Just was notified by my TSM that an account isn't happy. They feel the MLS are guessing and they have found errors to prove it. Someone needs to let these clients know how Nuance is enticing some MLS to guess. They would surely reconsider outsourcing their work and maybe this is the start of hospitals hiring their own MLS again. Wouldn't that be wonderful?! ...
